Method and apparatus for a smart random access procedure in a telecommunication network
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of operating an apparatus in a wireless communications network, comprising:
- creating a database comprising a plurality of resource indexes and corresponding preamble signature sequences and probabilities of being usable, the resource indexes initially marked as usable and corresponding to a plurality of uplink transport channel resources;
selecting a first index of the resource indexes;
selecting a first preamble signature sequence of the preamble signature sequences corresponding to the first index;
initiating a random access channel (RACH) procedure by transmitting a preamble utilizing the first preamble signature sequence;
marking the first index with a lower probability of being usable for a subsequent RACH procedure in connection with receiving a negative acknowledgement for the preamble;
selecting a second index of the resource indexes having a probability higher than that of the first index;
selecting a second preamble signature sequence of the preamble signature sequences corresponding to the second index; and
transmitting a preamble utilizing the second preamble signature sequence.

1. A method of operating an apparatus in a wireless communications network, comprising:
-
creating a database comprising a plurality of resource indexes and corresponding preamble signature sequences and probabilities of being usable, the resource indexes initially marked as usable and corresponding to a plurality of uplink transport channel resources; selecting a first index of the resource indexes; selecting a first preamble signature sequence of the preamble signature sequences corresponding to the first index; initiating a random access channel (RACH) procedure by transmitting a preamble utilizing the first preamble signature sequence; marking the first index with a lower probability of being usable for a subsequent RACH procedure in connection with receiving a negative acknowledgement for the preamble; selecting a second index of the resource indexes having a probability higher than that of the first index; selecting a second preamble signature sequence of the preamble signature sequences corresponding to the second index; and transmitting a preamble utilizing the second preamble signature sequence. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4)
